More rain on the radar

The Bureau of Meteorology said the current cold front, along with thunderstorm activity, has brought good falls to south-west NSW.

"There's a slight chance of rainfall and isolated thunderstorm activity for the region, as this front continues to move east," Bimal KC, meteorologist with the Bureau of Meteorology, said.

While the rain has come at an ideal time for farmers sowing their winter crops, it will hold up cotton picking for a few days for those in the midst of harvest in the Murrumbidgee and Murray Valleys.

For the second time this month the tiny town of Wanaaring in far-western NSW received a downpour.

Just over 25 millimetres fell overnight, enough to cut local roads again.

Local store owner Ben Strong said after two extremely dry years, locals were enjoying the sight of puddles and rising waters of the Paroo River, which just passed two metres thanks to recent rainfall in Cunnamulla.

"We've had more rain in the last four weeks than we had last year — that's really saying something as we had just 85mm in total last year," Mr Strong said.

"I did the mail run on Tuesday and you can see where green is starting to come up; it's just great."
